However, studies have yet to investigate the role of different physical health and cognitive ability indicators simultaneously, and their non-linear association in relation to retirement adjustment.

Purpose: Retinal degeneration is a common cause of blindness, but there is a gap in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms causing degeneration. Dysregulated PRDM13 has been linked to retinal dystrophy, indicating a role for PRDM13 in the retina. PRDM13 knockout studies have shown that PRDM13 specifies amacrine cell fates, but no studies have shown the phenotypic and mechanistic outcomes of its elevated activity in the retina.

Theropoda is one of the most extensively studied dinosaur clades, including iconic carnivores such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. The clade includes the largest terrestrial bipeds ever described, including three lineages that independently achieved giant size: Megalosauroidea, Allosauroidea, and Tyrannosauroidea. Here, we investigate how increasing size influenced feeding performance by quantifying feeding-induced mechanical performance across numerous large theropods using 3D finite element analysis.
